Ibstock Plc (LSE:IBST) experienced strong volume growth in the first half of 2025, buoyed by a rebound in the new-build residential market. Although profitability was affected by rising costs linked to inflation and investments in restoring network capacity, the company remains optimistic about its growth prospects. Strategic spending on network capacity expansion and sustainable production methods is expected to position Ibstock favorably to capitalize on ongoing market recovery.
Looking ahead, Ibstock anticipates continued volume increases in the second half of the year, with full-year adjusted EBITDA projected between £77 million and £82 million. The company’s diversified growth strategy is gaining momentum, with significant contributions forecast from its Ibstock Futures initiative in upcoming years.
While corporate developments and a stable financial position are positive factors, challenges around revenue growth and valuation concerns temper the outlook. Technical signals show a lack of strong momentum, indicating investors should exercise caution.
